I guess the idea is if a few bad apples spoil the bunch, you can save the bunch if you can remove the bad apples?

- jjulius 4y agoBut you can only save the bunch if you remove the bad apples in time. ;)
- sharkjacobs 4y agothe idea is that if you seal up a barrel with a few bad apples, you will unseal a barrel full of bad apples
- fknorangesite 4y ago> you can save the bunch if you can remove the bad apples? Sure, except the people making the "bad apples" argument don't want to do this part, either.
- Tostino 4y agoAnd at this point, you need to remove all the other "apples" who have been tainted. That's the whole point, you need to act fast, or it will ruin the entire thing.
- sleepybrett 4y agoOr in the case of most police departments, an apple goes bad (commits a crime) it gets put on suspension right next to the barrel while still being paid as the department 'investigates'. If it goes badly for the apple they get removed from the barrel, but then they either sue and get their job back and get put back into the barrel. Or move to next county and get put into their barrel.
- uoaei 4y agoI recommend reading up on ethylene. "Paper bag" and "ripening" can also be included in the query for more practical applications.
- lupire 4y agoYes but the apples formed a union to prevent that.
- autoexec 4y agoPolice unions don't prevent police from being held accountable. They don't have that authority. Police unions are another problem, and an important one, but we need the state to press charges and judges to sentence police who commit crimes at least as harshly as they would the rest of us. No union has the power to take a bad cop out of prison. The police didn't get this way on their own, so it's important that we aren't ignoring what's enabled them to continue like this and start holding everyone involved accountable.
